RIDING THE VEHICLE
Rider Position (Reverse Operation)
We recommend sitting on your snowmobile when operating in
reverse.
Avoid standing up. Your weight could shift forward against throttle
lever while operating in reverse, causing an unexpected acceleration.
WARNING
Unexpected acceleration when snowmobile operates in re-
verse can cause a loss of control.
Carrying a Passenger
Certain snowmobiles are designed for an operator only (1-UP), and
others can allow one passenger (2-UP). Make sure to identify and
respect the warnings according to your specific models.
Even when a passenger is allowed, this person must be physically fit
for snowmobiling.
WARNING
Any passenger must be able to firmly lay his feet on the
footrests and keep his hands on the handholds or seat strap
at all times when seated. Respecting those physical criteria is
important to ensure that the passenger is stable and to reduce
the risks of ejection.
The operator has a responsibility to ensure the safety of his passen-
ger and should inform the passenger about snowmobiling basics.
WARNING
– Passenger must only sit on designated passenger seat.
Never allow anyone to sit between the handlebar and the
operator.
– Passenger and operator must always wear an approved
helmet and warm clothing appropriate for snowmobiling.
Make sure that no skin is exposed.
– If the passenger feels uncomfortable or insecure for any
reason, he must right away inform the operator to slow-
down or stop.
